Professor William Jacobson, a law educator at Cornell University and the mind behind the Legal Insurrection blog, has recently made headlines with his commentary on the escalating tensions between Harvard University and the Trump administration. His remarks on FOX News delve into the intricate issues surrounding antisemitism on college campuses and the broader implications for higher education in America.

Jacobson contends that Trump’s threats to revoke Harvard’s tax-exempt status are not merely political posturing but a justified response to what he perceives as a significant cultural malaise affecting education nationwide. He asserts that the antisemitic protests witnessed at institutions like Harvard are merely symptomatic of a much larger, systemic issue: the radical left’s dominance over educational frameworks at all levels, fostering an environment rife with anti-American and anti-capitalistic sentiments.

Partial transcript via Legal Insurrection:

Rich Edson: The universities have pledged to tackle antisemitism, particularly given the recent outcry from Ivy League institutions like Harvard. Do you believe these efforts are genuine? Is progress being made?

William Jacobson: The antisemitism issue prevalent on campuses is intertwined with broader anti-Americanism, anti-westernism, and anti-capitalism sentiments. It serves as a manifestation of a deeper malaise afflicting higher education. This cultural clash is the driving force behind many of these challenges.

Americans are beginning to question the value of their financial contributions to these institutions. They are asking: why are we subsidizing this? This concern points to a more profound dilemma.

Much of what universities have done can be seen as mere window dressing. The fundamental issue is that, over the past generation, there has been a systematic purge of conservatives and pro-Israel academics. At Harvard, for instance, only 3% of faculty members identify as conservative, compared to 37% in the general American population, while 80% identify as liberal versus just 25% who identify with conservative views.

Institutions like Harvard frequently proclaim their commitment to mirroring America’s diversity, yet they exist within a liberal echo chamber. This disparity is at the crux of the ongoing tension.

Rich Edson: When did this shift occur? Twenty-five years ago, college campuses hosted a mix of liberal and conservative voices, fostering an environment ripe for debate and the exchange of ideas. What changed?

William Jacobson: The far left recognized the education system—spanning both higher education and K-12—as a critical battleground for societal transformation. They concentrated their efforts there. Historically, there was a more balanced split between liberal and conservative professors, around 60% liberal to 40% conservative. That has drastically shifted to nearly 30 to 1 today. Activists, including figures like Bill Ayers, infiltrated academia, dominating hiring processes and ensuring that only like-minded individuals were brought into the fold for decades.

The left has firmly entrenched itself in the educational sphere, particularly in higher education, and exhibits a reluctance to relinquish that authority. This determination is why institutions like Harvard are poised to resist any challenges posed by Trump, as they strive to maintain their considerable control over the academic narrative.
